yea, we still have two weeks to figure it out. hell, i might end up in your area on friday anyway if we end up going to canada or to any more parties in the ghetto.

Kyle what time is our group getting there, Id luck to be on pace with you guys (maybe leave an hour earlier for traffic)

if check in is at 3, i'd like to be there at 2:50

we need a convoy thread...lol
jon are you guys going to take 80 the whole way from iowa over??.. i am trying to figure out what time i need to leave chicago to make it to the hotel around 3pm.

Im taking 80 to 88, then to 39, the to 72 which will then hit 90. I dont know if there is a quicker way to hit 90 from 88 but that is how I know how to do it. You could meet me at 90 if we timed it, but I must warn you ... I wont be driving slow at all, except in Indiana, cuase thier fines are double that of IL.

are you stopping at home??? 90 is way far north from me... I will be hopping on 55 or 294 south to 80 east..

Yeah MI peeps...I wanna be there Friday, 3 at the latest. Hopefully that'll work for everyone! Its not a bad drive for us at all tho...

yah our drive kick ass nikki!!!! woulda been a waste to go to cleveland with so few ECers :)

Yep true! Mapquest's rough estimate from my house (Sterling Heights) to Sandusky, Ohio was 2 hours and 17 min. woot woooooot :D

I'm used to that...its only 17 min more of a drive than Brandon's :p

Only 2 hours??? :thumbsdow

Bah, 2 hours. Im driving 10! It will definately be worth it though, seeing Kyle completely hammered will probabyl be the event of a lifetime!

so nikki, you guys are taking 75 the whole way?

Well the whole way down to Toledo...then we gotta hop on the Turnpike the rest of the way there, I believe...

that's cool. i live right off of 275 so we need to find a spot to meet. i'm thinking the first exit after 75 and 275 merge?

^I dunno even where that is...do they merge at all? I can't recall from when I've headed down to Toledo before...

yea they merge, it's past taylor, more towards monroe.

Oh ok...well then that would work, I dunno why it wouldn't.

yea nikki, they merge right in the middle of nowhere http://www.state-ends.com/michigan/i275/

i don't know where we could meet at? maybe somewhere in ohio?

damn i wish mine was only 2 hours.... but I know some have even longer of a drive then me.. mine is about 5 hours, well with the time change technically 6 ha ha lol luckily its a pretty easy drive... 80 east the whole way :)

Hahaah well...meeting in Ohio won't work cuz the TP exit is one of the 1st ones once you get into Ohio. Soooooo you are just gonna have to figure out where on 75 in MI you wanna meet...you're gonna have to be on 75 anyway, or if you wanna take the easy way from your house, I guess we can't meet up.

meh, it's usually more fun getting lost with a few cars rather than just by myself :violin

why can't we meet right after the turnpike or something, like one of the exists off there? i haven't been that way in a long time so i don't know how it goes though :/ nikki i bet it won't even take more than 2 hours, 142 miles ... i get to CMU in 2 hours and that's 150. :)

i thought you were coming with a bunch of people?

i'm meeting them there jason.

the more i think about it, the more i think the 275/75 merger is at the beginning of monroe county. i'm almost positive there will be atleast one exit before the turnpike.

Yeah there is 1 exit before the TP its called Alexis Rd....so I guess we could get off there and meet up?

i'm down with that

I would meet you guys where you have it planned, but its quicker for me to take 23 down to the TP in Maumee. I could either plan it ot catch you on the TP, meet at the 1st open Service Plaza (since they are rebuilding the used to be first one) or meet you all at the Hotel a ~3pm. :)

Isn't there a section of 75 at 8mile that is closed down? I wanna drive through the war zone aka the construction between 75 and the TP ;)

Seth don't feel bad, its a 4hr drive for me (still nothing compared to the others)

I am practicing for you all ;) http://www.norwalkraceway.com/practicetree

:wave:

oops nikki nevermind on the 2 hours...probably be more like 3-3½, forgot ohio driving sucks and the turnpike has a low speed limit D: D: D:

okay so we need to know if any of the people who have not said they need a hotel room need one, we need to have a count for tonight... I don't want to leave anyone out. I might have them book 1-2 extra rooms for latecomers who haven't gotten back to us yet!!! Please let us know if you need a hotel room... 10 more days!

denise :)

*BUMP* for the "maybes" those better turn into YES :D

yes.. we want more people to come to the meet!!!!! :) :)

8 days! Im off of work, (short of cash but thats ok, Ill whore my self out ) and im completely ready for this, woo woo!
